Great, it seems that we have 4 interested people already, including myself. Let's wait for some more.
Porting Django to Python 3 would indeed be awesome. But keep in mind we would probably not complete even 10% of it in one sprint. Alex Gaynor said:<http://alexgaynor.net/2011/feb/17/django-and-python-3-take-2/> "So I'd like to make Python 3 support for Django a GSOC project this summer [...] I think this task is eminently reasonable for the timeline [...]" If Alex Gaynor can do it in a few months, then it's really freaking big. But I'd be happy even if we did just a small chunk of it; I'm sure Alex Gaynor will be happy to point us at some sub-task that is small enough for our sprint. Regarding you being a newcomer: That's totally cool. Strengthening the local Python community and helping newcomers is part of the goal. Tal: The context manager thing is cool, but since it's just hypothetical discussion on python-ideas AFAIK there's a good chance that they'll just abandon the idea and our work would be wasted.
